GEOPATHIC STRESS by Richard Creightmore

The resulting etheric disharmony manifests as a lowered quality of the local natural
life forces, often through the medium of what have been known in European
geomancy as Black Streams local capillary meridians of energy associated with
streams of underground water flow whose yinyang balance haen distorted on the
side of excessive yin. Ascendance of degenerative over generative and regenerative
influences occurs in places lying directly over such streams. These black streams
are known in the Feng Shui tradition as lines of underground Sha or toxic energy,
in contradistinction to the white streams that carry healthy, generative and
regenerative energy or Sheng Qi.
They may also however occur naturally, and a wide range of these and other
naturally occurring energetic configurations in the landscape are known to have an
influence on the quality of health of the local life forms.
Just as local geology determines the local soil and vegetation, and therefore the
whole natural ecology of an area, so it also affects human consciousness. People
who live and work on clay soils are different to those on chalk soils in their
relationship to their environment; those in river valleys different from those on
hilltops in their vision of life. Many of the centres of concentration of holistic
thinkers in Britain today lie in sandstone districts, the higher quartz content of
sandstone perhaps amplifying the spiritual possibilities of human consciousness.
The anciently-venerated sacred places of Delos (Greece) and Deya (Majorca) are
both set in rings of hills high in ironstone.
Granite districts are relatively high in non-corpuscular (natural) radioactive
elements, such that the exposure to background ionising radiation of dwellers in
moorland Cornwall or North-East Scotland is estimated at 25% above the United
Kingdom national average, and 300% more for those who live in houses built of
granite blocks.
Underground water streams, even when not black or Sha-bearing, and geological
faults are known to have an effect on the geomagnetic and etheric fields around
them. The new science of geopathology is growing, initiated by the observations of
dowsers and increasingly investigated by physicists and engineers, to the extent
that much of the information is now couched in terms of electromagnetism.
The etheric earth forces have as a lower-octave reflex geomagnetic fields
measurable with electromagnetic instruments. Where local disturbances in the
geomagnetic flux occur, so-called areas of geopathic disturbance, there appears
also some disruption to the biological regulating mechanisms of living organisms.
The importance of the natural geomagnetic background to body equilibrium was
comprehended in the early manned space flights.
Geopathically disturbed zones may differ from surrounding regions in the degree of
ionisation, from altered electro magnetic field charges; in AC changes; in enhanced
electrical resistance; in altered acoustic levels and radio reception; and in increased
gamma radiation.
Associated also with such areas are increased occult phenomena. The relationship
between haunted houses and ley-line crossings is well known. Astral projection is
easier and stronger along the paths of ley-lines. Vampirism is associated with the
discharging energy fields (see below), and poltergeist phenomena and other
materialisations with the charging field zones. Any geomagnetic disturbance is
mirrored on every plane.
As the Earth rotates on its axis, it functions as an electro-magnet generating
electrical currents in the molten metals found within its core, and an
electromagnetic field on the surface which oscillates at an average frequency of
7.83 Hz, which is almost identical to the range of alpha human brainwaves. Life on
earth has evolved with this background magnetic field, and creatures are
accustomed to living within its presence and are able to cope with the slight
fluctuations over time caused by electrical storms and the suns activity.
The Physicist W.O. Schumann identified this frequency in 1952, and it has become
known as brainwaves or Schumann Waves. The space agency NASA has had to
build Schumann Resonators into their space shuttles in order to artificially generate
this electromagnetic frequency, which is known to safeguard the health of
astronauts when they are beyond the influence of the earths vital frequency.
Geopathic stress (GS) represents a distortion of this natural frequency by weak
electromagnetic fields created by streams of water flowing underground, geological
fault lines, underground caverns, and certain mineral deposits (notably coal, oil,
and iron). For example, where the inner Earth's vibration of 7.83 Hz crosses a
water vein 200 500 feet below ground, stress lines vibrating at up to 250 Hz can
be created.
Man-made disturbances to the earths surface can give rise to further distortions,
including quarries and mines; road and rail cuttings and embankments; building
foundations, especially tall buildings with steel pilings; tunnels, sewers, drains,
buried utility pipes and wires; as well as artificially created electromagnetic fields
from overhead or underground cables and electricity-generating stations and substations.
Any distortion of this 7.83 Hz level creates a stress with the potential to weaken the
immune system of any mammal living above the distortion, leading to greater
susceptibility to viruses, bacteria, parasites, environmental pollution, degenerative
disease, and a wide range of health problems. Many dowsers use a 0 16 scale
known as the Von Pohl scale (after its originator) to measure the strength of
geopathic stress, in which 0 represents the healthy 7.83 Schumann frequency, and
16 an extremely strong locus corresponding to 250 Hz. For example, people who
are sleeping on a GS locus of 9 or more (perhaps a combined score from the
presence of several geopathic features) are likely to develop cancer.
2. MEDICAL IMPLICATIONS
In the sensitive or weak patient, or in anyone exposed for a sufficient length of
time, geopathic stress may be sufficient to overcome the bodys natural
homeostatic regulation and lead into a disease spiral, presenting at first a confused
non-specific symptom picture. Measurable physiological effects of geopathic stress
include changes in the electrical polarity of the cell membrane with impeded
ionisation across the cell wall; altered spin oscillation and proton resonance of
protein molecules; faulty hydrogen bonding; disturbed mesenchyme base
regulation, hormone balance and pH values.
The most frequently found symptoms occurring at an early stage of exposure to
geopathic stress, perhaps immediately upon moving to a new house, are sleep
disturbances. The siting of a patients bed seems to be the most important factor,
after which come favourite chair, desk, room in which most working time is spent,
and so forth.
Pathological symptoms can include restlessness, difficulty in getting to sleep,
excessive dreaming, excessively heavy sleep and sleep requirements, waking
unrefreshed, cold or restless feet and legs in bed, asthma and respiratory
difficulties at night, fatigue and lethargy, unexplained mood changes, aggression
and depression.
Patients often wake up at an odd angle in bed, perhaps on the edge of the bed as
far as possible from the centre of stress, while children might sleep-walk. Cats tend
to prefer sleeping over a stress hot-spot, other things like warmth being equal;
dogs and most other mammals prefer to avoid them. It is interesting to see the
mechanism whereby healthy humans are naturally sensitive to avoiding such
stressed areas, while humans on a disease cycle naturally gravitate in spite
themselves to sleeping in beds whose geography enhances their pathological
tendency (in much the same way that patients displaying the Traditional Chinese
Medicine (TCM) syndrome of Spleen Yang deficiency love bananas, and therefore
further increase the Cold Phlegm in their system. The two broad categories of
geopathic disturbance are yin - the discharging field, and yang - the charging field,
ranging from the geomagnetic baseline of 65,000 nano-Tesla by up to 8,000 nT
either way.
The yin fields are associated with underground water flows, underground caverns
and rock hollows, the running water causing a decrease in the intensity of the
rocks geomagnetic field strong enough to influence living organisms on the
surface. Where two underground streams cross the effect is enhanced.
The pathological states associated with the yin fields manifest first as the abovenoted sleep disturbances and mental symptoms. Over time, in the idiom of TCM, Qi
Xu (energy deficiency) syndromes worsen to become Xue Xu (Blood deficiency) and
Wei (wasting and paralysing) conditions - fatigue, neurasthenia, depression,
arthritis, diabetes mellitus, cancers, multiple sclerosis, myopathies and
neuropathies and other degenerative disorders.
These zones in space, represented at their strongest as a crossing point of two
unhealthy underground streams, represent energy sinks sacred to the degenerative
and dissolutive forces, As such they are exceptionally good sites for compost
heaps, for letting go of angry grievances, or for cooling off hyperactive children for
a few minutes, but less helpful to the regenerative aspect of health and healing.

The yang fields are especially associated with fault zones and with coal and oil
deposits. Found in such regions are changes in ionisation, infra-red emission and
AC & DC current; low frequency atmospheric pulsations with increased probability
of lightning strikes; and low-level radiation emissions. As might be expected, yang
fields lead to Qi Shi (energy excess) states such as hypertension, cardiac problems,
strokes, migraines, epileptiform fits, gastritis, alcoholism, mania and schizophrenia.
Global geomagnetic grid crossing points can be associated with both yin and yang
fields.
A survey of the worlds literature concerning GS shows a remarkable concordance
of experience regarding the medical symptoms associated with exposure. For
example, a list of known symptoms from the Chinese Feng Shui tradition that I was
given in 1996 was identical in every respect to a list that I had myself previously
compiled from the Western literature and my own experience:
CANCER is the most notorious of these, and tumours are known to develop almost
always at exactly the spot where two or more GS lines cross a persons body as
they lie asleep in their bed. All mammals are considered to produce cancerous cells
on a continual basis, though they are also continuously destroyed by the bodys
immune system. Stress on the immune system caused by GS is seen as responsible
for the resulting overgrowth of cancer cells. Professional dowsers tell many stories
of patients whose tumours have mysteriously disappeared after moving their
sleeping position away from the GS lines.
LEUKAEMIAS & LYMPHOMAS
are particularly associated with a strong electropollution component within the GS
lines.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS,
MOTOR NEURONE DISEASE,
PARKINSONS DISEASE,
and many other CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, WASTING AND PARALYSING
DISEASES OF THE FLESH, MUSCLES AND NERVES,
e.g. NECROTISING FASCIITIS, MYASTHENIA GRAVIS,
all diagnosed as Earth element disorders in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
INFERTILITY (storks will not visit, let alone nest on geopathically stressed
locations!),
DIFFICULT PREGNANCIES,
MISCARRIAGE,
PREMATURE BIRTH,
UNHEALTHY NEW-BORN BABIES, including
DOWNS SYNDROME and other
GENETIC ABNORMALITIES.
Women are considered more likely to be at risk from geopathic stress because their
hormonal systems are more susceptible. Foresight, the British pre-conception care
organization, now suggest that all couples trying for a baby should get their homes
checked for geopathic stress and electromagnetic stress.
N.B. a baby girl is born with approximately 25,000 eggs, which will all be affected
by GS if the maternal bed during pregnancy is compromised, thus potentiating
genetic weakness in future generations.
SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME (S.I.D.S., COT DEATH)
Has well-established connections with exposure to geopathic and electromagnetic
stress, microwave communication transmissions, proximity to nuclear power plants
and research establishments, and baby dribble reacting with fire-retardant
chemicals in cot mattresses (as well as a compromised breathing control
mechanism in the brain-stem caused by an impacted occiput at birth, and treatable
with cranial osteopathy).
BABIES CRYING CONTINUOUSLY
Can often be relieved simply by moving the cot a few feet away from the
geopathogenic zone. Babies repeatedly found sleeping in one corner or edge of the
cot, (or children and adults repeatedly falling out of bed), is probably an instinctual
attempt to escape from the worst of the GS. The diagrams below, from respected
British dowser Rolf Gordon, are cases where babies have been trying to avoid GS in
their sleep. All the babies slept peacefully after their cots were moved to a
Geopathic Stress free place.

Mr Wolfgang Mers, Riestatt 8, 3110 Uelzen, has tested several MS beds and has
found that all MS patients were on a threefold crossing in the region of the back.
Dr. Phys. Paul Schweitzer had already published exact details with sketches in
Krebs geschehen No 4/81, which we here reproduce. He also found a threefold
crossing in the back area with all MS patients and emphasized that in the case of
MS all zones are right-circling and in the case of cancer all zones are left-circling.
Example Two - Child with Cancer. Two-year old girl with germ cell
cancer of the brain not responding to medical treatment. An
anomaly in the earths natural geomagnetic DC field of some 32,600
nT produced by the springs in the mattress was measured over a
distance of nine centimetres in the area of the girls head.
(Remember that metallic ore causes changes in the Earths natural
magnetic field. This ore has been refined to its purest form to make
the springs of our mattresses). After changing the mattress for one
which had no springs she responded to treatment with a successful
outcome.
ROAD RAGE,
LOCATION-SPECIFIC AGGRESSION,
STRESSED RELATIONSHIPS,
DIVORCE,
BAD NEIGHBOUR SYNDROME
Social symptoms can include vandalism, burglary, fighting and warfare, corruption,
financial decay, and bad luck in all its forms. Bad neighbour syndrome can
frequently be traced to a Sha stream flowing from aggressor to victim.
SICK BUILDING SYNDROME
The World Health Organisation estimate that 30% of offices, hotels, institutions
and industrial premises have SBS. causing: headaches, tension between staff,
lethargy, respiratory infection, dry skin and throat, eye symptoms, loss of
concentration, depression, stress and fatigue, leading to a high rate of
absenteeism, increased staff turnover, and lowered morale. While electro-, micro-,
and radio wave and chemical pollution are undoubtedly major factors, SBS is
generally rooted in the presence of Sha streams under the property. Sha Qi can be
spread from the path of the streams throughout a building by the steel construction
frame, wiring loom and pipework, just as it is spread along railway tracks or a
metal bed frame. Thus a steel-framed cattle shed with Sha streams running
through it will usually feel much more unhappy than a brick and wood barn.
GEOPSYCHIC STRESS
Hauntings of earth-bound human ghosts and other entities, including poltergeist
activity are invariably tied to negative earth energies. Ghost and spirit release and
exorcism performed without attention to cleaning up the local earth energies can
sometimes result in a new crop in the next day.
Dislocated nature spirits and disturbed landscape entities can also hold trauma to
the earths etheric web within the landscape, and are often the bearers of emotion
(apathy, grief, fear, anger, etc.) in the atmosphere of a place.
Predecessor Qi (memory and atmosphere of past events in a place) will be thicker
and more troublesome with GS.
PHYSICAL DECAY
The path of a Sha stream can often be traced within the home by following the
piles of chronically unresolved clutter across a house. Other clues include piles of
rubbish, cracks in glass, brick and plasterwork, recurring mechanical and electrical
breakdowns, derelict areas, and accident blackspots both within the home and
outside. Fruit and vegetables, grain, ale, cheese, jam, wine and photographic film
will all spoil quickly when stored in the wrong place.
RECURRENT BAD LUCK
Poor workmanship,
child who has died has suffered from medium to strong GS lines in conjunction with
the Jue Ming (severed fate) Ba Zhai portent in their bedroom.
Harmful radiation rises in a vertical plane from the underground stream to the
earths surface and above. The stream may be anything from 1ft - 3000ft deep and
from 1ft - 300ft wide (the widest corresponding to a major ley line). The two edge
lines and the centre line dowse as the strongest, sharpest Qi and are potentially the
most dangerous places on the stream for habitual exposure. The edge lines are
found to be more associated with physical diseases such as tumours, while the
centre lines have more of an association with mental and psycho-spiritual
disturbances. Where the underground water vein is a primary riser the edge lines
are the more dangerous, while on the descending veins it is the centre line that is
the strongest (and over which standing stones are sited in ancient British
geomancy).
The streams may display tributaries and convergences, and dowsable echoes
parallel to the main stream. They may display course changes, especially after
earthquakes and droughts. They are known to be stronger at midday, midsummer, full moon, and during periods of heightened solar flare (sunspot)
activity. They are also known to be associated with higher levels of ionising
radiation, and with lightning strikes and other atmospheric phenomena.
Sha Streams: Causes
A Sha stream is a sick Lung Mai or earth meridian. There is a well-established link
between Sha streams and traumas to the earths etheric web that have caused the
flow of Qi to stagnate in the channels. Typical examples of such traumas include
the building of railway and motorway cuttings, tunnels and embankments, quarries
and mines, and building foundations, especially those with steel footings. Also
implicated are heavy industry sites, power stations and electricity sub-stations,
military bases, steel pilings, poles and road signs. Old battlegrounds and historical
sites of trauma such as witch-burnings and executions can also retain much Sha Qi,
as sometimes can natural topography.
On a subtler level, homes, shopping centres, airports and modern housing estates
developed without any traditional foundation-stone laying ceremonies, without
offerings made in good faith to the nature spirits whose land has been taken for
development, will usually display signs of a traumatised Elemental life and stagnant
Qi in the earth meridians.
Sha Streams: Remedies
There is much that can be done to ameliorate or remove Geopathic stress arising
from disturbed underground water veins, and protocols can be divided into three
types: avoiding, shielding and curative.
Avoiding generally involves moving the bed away from the zones of disturbance,
having identified them with dowsing rods or meters. This is the ideal short-term
solution, however it is often not practical in a typical small house.
To shield a residence from the path and effects of a Sha stream, traditional Chinese
devices include the building of a Dragon wall (a screen wall with an undulating
ridge), the digging of a ditch or the burying of a protective talisman at an
appropriate point on the path of the stream. Modern Western methods include a
layer of cork tiles or bath mats placed under the bed, the careful placing of
crystals, bottles of salt, copper rods, coils and ankhs, or the installation of radionic
devices such as the Spiral Of Tranquillity, and Raditech, Helios and Geomack
machines, generally using Multi-Wave Oscillators or Radionics to establish a
shielding field.
Ideally the disturbed water line can be healed: to cure a Sha stream the Sha Qi has
to be transformed into Sheng Qi by the practice of Earth Acupuncture. This can be
performed using wood, metal, stone or crystal needles, or other healing
interventions, applied to the appropriate earth acupuncture points (Xue) for a
variable time. This could be a few seconds or a few hours, or could be a
permanent placement according to the size and nature of the underground stream.
The Sha streams are thus transformed into Sheng Qi streams. With larger
meridians, as with geological faults, a needle may need to be left in place
permanently.
A wide range of other curative styles have been employed, from the application of
flower and gem essences or symbols to selected points, through offerings and
dialogue with local nature spirits and landscape angels, to ceremony, prayer,
meditation and focussed visualisation and distant healing. These may be broadly
classified under the heading of Earth Acupuncture in as much as they all represent
a therapeutic input to the local situation, gaining leverage to transform ill health via
the focus through a specific point or points on the ground. What all these cures
have in common is a therapeutic intention, often in a sacred ceremonial
context. Often the spirit world will need to be addressed directly, in Heaven as
well as Underground.
Fire, in the form of candles, incense, moxa, sage or a bon-fire may also be
employed - the old Beacon hills of Britain are moxibustion points in the landscape
for the purification of the land. They are fired at the appropriate moments in the
cycle of the seasons - the fire festivals.
Permanent needles may take the form of sculptures and statues, standing stones,
moving water features, or a specially planted tree. A gravestone may be seen as a
style of earth acupuncture needle, balancing the Yin Qi of the corpse with a Yang
form to reunite the Qi of Heaven and Earth. On a larger scale, pagodas, temples,
churches and cathedrals all function as earth acupuncture needles to the same
effect. Ringing the local church bells used to be traditional practice to ward off
impending lightning strikes.
Traditional earth acupuncture techniques to promote the flow of Qi in a blocked
meridian under a house will generally have an instantaneous effect in dispelling an
associated accumulation of radon. Where the radon concentration derives from Sha
streams the effect is usually permanent as long as the streams remain healthy and
free-flowing.
If the causal traumas can be successfully released from the earth meridians, the
cure should be permanent. However, especially in urban environments there is so
much ongoing disturbance to the ground, not to mention electro- and other
pollution inputs, that regular (perhaps yearly) check-ups and/or the installation of
shielding devices in addition may be desirable. Whilst it is laudable that in some
parts of Europe a housing development is no longer permitted without having had
a dowser first survey the land, this still begs the question of what geomantic
disturbances the building construction may then cause.
EARTH ACUPUNCTURE CASE HISTORIES
Case History 1. Solsbury Hill, Bath.
Following the cutting of a by-pass, through the shoulder of Solsbury Hill, to the
north-east of Bath in 1995, the city experienced a dramatic economic decline, with
many shops and small businesses closing down. The suburb of Larkhall had its first
ever outbreak of burglary and vandalism.
Dowsing revealed that two major Dragon veins had been severed on their course
from Solsbury Hill, through Larkhall, to Bath Abbey and the Circus respectively. In
May 1996 four sandstone Cairns were raised on either side of the road cutting, on
the mid-lines of the earth meridians, aimed at restoring the flow of Qi across the
road cutting. Local feedback confirmed that Larkhalls crime outbreak ended the
following week as suddenly as it had started, and Baths economy had picked up
within a month.
Case History 2. A dairy farm near Airdrie, Scotland.
The entire herd had been twice slaughtered in the previous two years as a result of
brucellosis. Fertility was very low with no female calves born.
Dowsing revealed four strong Sha streams passing through the steel-framed cattle
barns (A).
At (B) a small Sha stream, 3ft wide, passed directly through a calf pen in which a
3-week old calf was on deaths door, unable to stand or feed. This was pointed out
to the farmer who exclaimed that the last calf kept in that pen had died a few
weeks before. On carrying the calf into the next door pen, free of noxious earth
radiation, it immediately drank a whole bucket of milk, and six months later was
reported as completely healthy. The farmhouse (C) was haunted, and a son of the
family mentally disturbed. At (D) stood an almost dead oak tree, in a poorlydrained corner of the field.
Earth acupuncture was performed at the points marked for a total of four hours,
and the problem traced to a quarry a couple of miles away. At a dramatic moment
of energetic release at the end of this four-hour focus, the entire herd started
mooing loudly, a chorus which they kept up for several hours.
Feedback the following year reported no more major health problems in the herd,
and a big increase in fertility, with more females than males born. The ghost in the
farmhouse had gone, the farmers son was fine, the dying oak tree was now
thriving, and the corner of the field in which it stood was even draining well.
LEY LINES
Ley lines are lines of energy running over-ground in straight lines, often reflected in
ancient trackway lines and alignments of prehistoric and historic sacred sites in the
landscape.
Ley lines are properly defined as straight over-ground energy lines that echo the
sinuous paths of larger underground rivers. They carry Yang Qi relative to the Yin
Qi of underground water, and are associated with Heavenly consciousness and
human spiritual ceremonial sites. These straight (at least over dozens of miles)
spirit paths are found equally in China as elsewhere in the world, and frequently
define the processional routes to major palaces, temples and cathedrals.
They can be compared and contrasted with the more yin underground water lines
as a yang energy matrix associated with a more heavenly consciousness, and are
frequently worked by human ceremonial practice at sacred sites designed and
constructed at key points in the landscape along these lines.
Straight lines in the landscape can be divided into three types: the first are
represented by lines of one or other of the global geomagnetic grids, and the
Second Schneider Grid is especially related to the paths of Roman roads in
Europe.
A second type of line is exemplified by the garden design of the Palais de
Versailles, and the 41 lines radiating from the Sun Temple in the middle of Cuzco,
central Peru, along which shrines, temples, graves, sacred hills, bridges and
battlefields lie. These are derived from the deliberate imposition of a geometrical
design (resonant with the central temple design) upon the landscape, as a vehicle
for political-theocratic control of a nation.
In Cuzco the pattern also interacts with the underground energy currents; in
Washington, D.C., a Masonically-inspired geometrical design has been placed
without reference to the underground patterns (unlike Canberra, where the
Heavenly and Earthly components have been more successfully united).
A third type of line is the classic ley-line as described by Alfred Watkins in his 1925
book The Old Straight Track. These are overground lines of energy, straight over
perhaps 60 miles with slight changes of path over longer distances, which echo the
sinuous paths of underground rivers across the earth. These carry energy of
various types and levels, and can be worked via key points either as part of a
programme of regular maintenance for the spiritual hygiene of a land, or as a
specific therapeutic action.
Perhaps the most famous Ley line in Britain is the Michael and Mary line, which
runs across England from St. Michaels Mount in Cornwall to Hopton in Norfolk.
Twin underground water currents, known as the Michael and Mary lines after the
number of churches dedicated to either Mary or St. Michael found upon them, run
with a central overground Ley across England, oriented to Mayday sunrise.
This reveals the primal Caduceus pattern that can be found within all such energy
lines: a triple-fold axis composed of Fire, Water and Spirit currents, which may be
experienced by the practising Geomancer as containing information in the Thinking,
Feeling and Subtle Entity realms respectively.
Appropriate for sacred sites, these energy pathways are less comfortable for
secular living, and houses built on them are generally a thoroughfare for all manner
of spirits. Properties presenting spirit disturbances are often found to be on one or
a crossing of ley-lines, as well as having Sha underground water lines.
Ley -Lines: Remedies
Ley-lines may be experienced or dowsed as running either clean or dirty. Clearing
the water lines will often be enough to clean the ley-line locally too, at least
enough to keep lower-astral entities away from the property. Sometimes other
nodal points on the lines, perhaps local church-yards or barrows, may also have to
be visited in order to maintain continued spiritual hygiene, and cleansed certainly of
Sha in the water lines and perhaps of other troublesome spirits.
GLOBAL GEOMAGNETIC GRIDS
Global geomagnetic grids, of which there are several, follow laws of symmetry and
direction. They are thought to arise from the earths magnetic field as a form of
vertical, and sometimes horizontal, radiation. Researchers have found on the lines
changes in the earths magnetic field, the intensity of sferics, the electrical
conductivity of the ground, variations in ultra short wave receptions, increases in
positive ions, differences in blood sedimentation rate, and over some grid lines
increased gamma radiation.
The grids are at their strongest between 12.00 midnight and 3.00a.m. and at their
weakest at 5.00p.m.; they are influenced by earthquakes and weather conditions,
and are weaker in fog; they do not rise vertically but at an angle which can
change a few degrees during the night; and, unlike underground streams, they are
not influenced by phases of the moon.
They show varying weak zones of resonance (echoes) outside the main line;
however decorations, mozaic patterns, windows and statue recesses in old
churches that indicate the grid lines always correspond to the exact width of the
main line.
In the Stone Age standing stones were set up on grid line crossings; the Chinese,
Indian, Greek, Roman and European Medieval civilizations knew of them, as the
location of temples, monuments and cathedrals bears witness.
1. The Hartmann Grid
This was described by Dr Ernst Hartmann in the 1960s. The network appears as a
structure of radiations rising vertically from the ground like invisible radioactive
walls. From north to south they are 25cm. wide and encountered at constant
intervals of 2m., while from east to west they are 15cm. wide and the distance
apart varies according to latitude from 1.2m. in Reykjavik, Iceland (63.36N) to
2.06m. in Ried, Switzerland (40.50N).
The north - south rays are Yin and linked to humidity, cramps and all forms of
rheumatism. The east - west rays are Yang and linked to inflammations.
Where ever two rays cross - a Hartmann Knot, a geopathogenic point is
found. These single crossing points do not constitute much of a health hazard
unless they pass through the area of the head in the bed site, which can cause
insomnia, depression and migraine type headaches. Crossing any other part of the
body in the vast majority of cases would not produce any discomfort. However,
Sleeping over crossings of double negative lines, which repeat at approximately
35m. intervals, can cause nervous disturbances, headaches, cramps and rheumatic
illnesses. Where the intersections coincide with Sha streams the effect is greatly
increased: When these lines of radiation are in combination with A/C pulsed
magnetic fields around and above 70 nT (nano Tesla), or cross over the outside
edge of a subterranean water course it can produce a depleted state of energy
leading to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and an opportunistic environment for the
growth of abnormal cells leading to cancer.
The intensity of these lines increases three to four-fold at night when there are less
free ions, just as radio waves are received better at night. Twenty-four hours
before the arrival of an atmospheric low pressure zone, a 100% increase of gamma
rays is found (up to 300% on volcanic soil) on the knots.
Twelve hours before an earthquake the thickness of the ray triples: beside the
central ray appear two other weaker rays to left and right which are not normally
detectable. At this time dogs howl, birds flutter madly in their cages, some cats
hide under the quilt, and some people feel sick or need to sleep. During an
earthquake the Hartmann network becomes twisted and distorted, but is restored
half an hour later to symmetry.
Dr Hartmann suggested that both Curry and Hartmann lines are earthing grids for
cosmic rays that can be distorted by other energies such as those coming from a
geological fault. This network penetrates everywhere in dwellings or on open
ground, but Blanche Merz has found the grid to be pushed outside certain sacred
structures such as the Egyptian pyramids and temples and Himalayan Buddhist
stupas, creating a dense protective wall composed of up to seven rays around the
perimeter, and a ray-free interior.
This grid, described by Wittman and Curry in the 1970s, has much in common with
the Hartmann grid, but is oriented 45 from north. The south-west to north-east
grid lines repeat every 2.36m, and the south-east to north-west lines every
2.7m. The lines are approximately 75cm. wide, with medically significant double
negative lines repeating every 50m.
The double negative crossings are associated with sleep disturbances, depression
and other nervous reactions, inflammations and rheumatic diseases; and also with
the sites of stocks and pillories, and hellebore plants. Double positive crossings
encourage enhanced cell enlargement and proliferation, even to the point of
cancerous growth.
Other Grids
There are a series of other such grids detectable by dowsing, which can display
beneficial as well as deleterious crossing points. The experience of the Fountain
Groups (groups directing spiritual healing into the etheric landscape at the local or
borough scale) has been that the dominant grids related to human consciousness
can change with respect to strength, scale and conformation over time.
This complex example shows an extreme possibility of geopathic stress. The bed is
situated over a negative intersection of the Curry Grid which happens to coincide
with a negative intersection of the Hartmann Net. Below the bedroom are two
underground streams which cross. Thus, the bed is over an extremely yin
geopathic area. Over a period of time the occupant would have a high probability
of developing cancer.
Global Grids Remedies
Avoidance of the negative crossings for bed and chair placement is the obvious first
remedy. Where this is not possible, a simple yin/yang cure may suffice, for example
an amethyst crystal placed under the bed to balance and neutralise the effects of a
double negative crossing, or similarly a piece of rose quartz placed at a double
positive crossing to calm the energy down. I surveyed one house in which the
occupants had instinctively placed a bright, uplifting painting on the wall by each of
the three double negative Hartmann and Curry crossings in the building.
The global grids, like sha streams, show stronger parallel edge lines when they are
under stress, for example before an earth-quake, and also if they are heavily
electro-magnetically polluted. This may be the mechanism behind the epidemic of
feline leukaemia in the cat population of the U.S.A.
Simple earth acupuncture on the local Sha water lines can go a long way towards
cleaning up these grids, though permanent standing stones or cairns may be useful
to filter and discharge ongoing electro-pollution in the grids.
GEOLOGICAL FAULTS
Radon: Remedies
Buildings should of course not be sited over geological faults. Where this has been
done, the provision of adequate ventilation within a building is one answer to the
problem. This can be achieved by positive ventilation fans blowing air from the loft
or outside into the house, to raise internal air pressure; by sealing floor boards and
installing under-floor air bricks; or by installing a radon sump system to draw air
from the soil beneath the house and redirect it outside. Building Regulations for
new-build houses have been amended to ensure completely sealed floors by local
authorities in areas of England exceeding the action level in the map below.
A geomantic cure for this situation, ideally in conjunction with permanent physical
remedial action (i.e. building work), is to establish a pair of standing stones (or
perhaps to co-opt garden statuary) on the centre of the fault line on either side of
the building, to try to draw off the Sha to discharge through the stones, and thus
establish a shielded area for the house.
The natural background radioactivity of the earth need not be feared per se for it is
the very stuff of evolution. The question is more one of appropriate dosage and
There are also electro-magnetic resonances coming into ones house or office via
the electricity, telephone, water and gas mains, while an electrical ring-main
effectively insulates a house within its own electro-magnetic field in a similar but
coarser fashion to the operation of a stone circle.
Symptoms associated with prolonged exposure to high voltage electrical fields are
well illustrated by the inhabitants of Fishpond, Dorset, a village ringed by pylons,
cables and transformers:- depression, headaches, poor sleep and waking
unrefreshed, fatigue, tension, frustration and other mood changes and a lowered
birth-rate.
Symptoms of over-exposure to microwave radiations are well illustrated by the
inhabitants of the Greenham Womens Peace Camp in Berkshire in the 1980s: sore throats, headaches, ear pains, nausea and vomiting, diarrhoea, migraines,
double vision, menstrual disturbances, difficulty thinking and communicating, and
other behavioural and emotional disturbances. The long term effects of microwave
exposure include leukaemia, cancers, birth defects, and personality imbalances.
Users of mobile phones are not only cooking their own brains and increasing the
probability of brain tumours, but also affecting the brains of all those in their
immediate environments. Children are particularly susceptible to these harmful
effects.
Electro-magnetic disturbances are also associated with mercury toxicity via the oral
galvanic current that arises between tooth fillings. Here one finds C.N.S., cardiac,
renal and intestinal symptoms related to mercury toxicity in addition to unwanted
influences upon the oral microsystem of acupuncture points and reflex zones
around the roots of the teeth.
Electrostatic disturbances may be associated with pure synthetic clothing fabrics,
especially manifest as emotional hypertension and implicated in arthritis.
The military implications of the use of low-level low-frequency waves have been
understood beyond the confines of the M.O.D. at Greenham, the most publicised
case having been the Operation Woodpecker transmission of microwave signals
from Russia to the Western world in the 1970s. These signals, oscillating at about
10 Hertz, were able to capture about 30% of exposed mammalian brains which are
normally gently entrained by the 7.6 Hertz oscillations of the earths magnetic field.
By adding frequency modulated patterns disease states are transmittable, as was
The earth's natural geom agnetic field is disturbed by the presence of m etal:
The first geomagnetogram (G1) typically represents the values of the Earths
normal geomagnetic field taken by Roy Riggs in a farmer's field near Poynings
village. As you can see the magnetic contours of this bed size area (6x4) are very
gentle and slightly undulating showing an overall geomagnetic anomaly of 582 nT
(nano Tesla). It is rare to find a magnetic anomaly above any natural terrain higher
than 2000 nT. Within our evolutionary history our bodies own magnetic field has
integrated with this magnetic field, which is responsible for controlling amongst
other things, circadian rhythms, mood changes and certain hormone production
such as melatonin and serotonin.
The second geomagnetogram (G2) was taken above a sprung mattress from a lady
suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome and severe depression, and has a
magnetic anomaly of 22,435.4 nT. The high spike to the right of the graph has
been artificially produced by the bed being placed near to a radiator. The sprung
mattresses Roy has measured so far over the past two years have had magnetic
anomalies between 4,000 and 61,000 nT. The reason for these abnormally high
magnetic abnormalities is a result of the bed springs intensifying the magnetic flux
of these fields, made worse by the interaction of high magnetic fields around the
bed and house from numerous electrical appliances, extension cables running
under the bed and transformers placed near to the bed. Our forefathers sleeping
on straw or feathered mattresses in houses devoid of any electrical fields or
microwave energy would not have experienced such geomagnetic disturbances.
Each static magnetic field bump or sink on geomagnetogram (G2) may speed up or
slow down body fluids (blood and lymphatic) in exposed areas such as the brain,
heart, lung, liver, legs etc. Sleep time exposure to the same sharp variations of
magnetic fields for years may induce some chronic health effect. The World Health
Organization in a health criteria report recognizes interactions between variations in
static magnetic fields in cellular tissues to include an induction of electrical
potentials and magneto hydrodynamic effects in the circulatory systems and by
direct stimulation of nerve and muscle cells even under extremely weak thresholds.
5. HISTORY OF RESEARCH
Chinese Emperor Kuang Yu (2205-2197 BC) proclaimed an edict, effective to this
day, which reads: No dwelling shall be built until the earth diviners have confirmed
the intended building site to be free of earth demons.
Chen Su Xiao (d.1332 AD): In the subterranean regions there are alternate layers
of earth and rock and flowing spring waters. These strata rest upon thousands of
vapours which are distributed in tens of thousands of branches, veins and
threadlike openings...The body of the earth is like that of a human being...Ordinary
people, not being able to see the veins and vessels which are disposed in order
within the body of man, think that it is no more than a lump of solid
flesh. Likewise, not being able to see the veins and vessels which are disposed in
order under the ground, they think that the earth is just an homogenous mass.
Christopher Bird, THE DIVINING HAND, 1979: It was believed by the ancient
Chinese that water flowed in subterranean courses called veins of the Dragon
(Lung Mai). Passing to and fro out of sight, the hidden veins of water served, like
the bloodstream of animals, to remove impurities from the body of the earth... and
to deposit curative minerals within it. The earths circulatory system was matched
by an ever-undulating network of currents in the atmosphere. The currents,
running through Mai or channels, carried the Qi or vapours
Knowledge of the mysterious underground energies and the ability to dowse their
precise location is as integral to the Chinese Feng Shui and Indian Vastu Shastra
traditions as it is to other geomantic traditions of the world. The personification of
the telluric currents of the hydrological cycle as the consciousness of the
subterranean Dragon, Serpent, or Crocodile spirit is a global image. Whether
named Lung (Dragon, China), Naga (Water Serpent Spirit, India), Nak
(subterranean Crocodile Spirit, Borneo), Wyvern (Dragon-Worm, Britain) or
Wonambi (Rainbow Serpent Spirit, Pitjatjantjara and Yankunyjatjara, central
Australia) these beings are variously respected, feared, appeased, tamed and
honoured the world over.
The aim of Feng Shui is to seek the healthy Qi (Sheng Qi) and avoid the unhealthy
Qi (Sha Qi). As the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) text Shui Peng Ba Zhen Fa or The
He repeated the exercise in the City of Stetten, with the result that Dr. Harger,
chairman of the city's medical scientific association, declared that the deadly earth
currents ran beneath the beds of all the 5,348 people who had died from cancer
during the last 21 years.
This inspired some scientists and medical engineers to probe into the matter more
deeply, and the term Geobiology was adopted by some German dowsers to
represent the study of the relationship between life and the Earths physical and
chemical environment. Geobiologists specialise in surveying houses for both
geopathic and electromagnetic stress using both dowsing and scientific
instruments.
In the 1930s the French engineer Pierre Cody of Le Havre knew of local cancer
houses in the port where many people had died from cancer over the years. He
decided to investigate the matter using a gold leaf electroscope. After checking
large numbers of these dwellings, Cody concluded that the air in these Cancer
Houses was ionized to an unusual degree. From various other tests Cody
concluded that the ionization radiation consisted of positively charged Alpha
Particles. The only known source of alpha particle emission in dwellings was from
the radioactive gas Radon. (The National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB)
estimates that out of 50,000 lung cancer deaths a year in Great Britain, Radon gas
is responsible for about 2,500 cases.) Codys early research seemed to backup
Baron Von Pohls findings that noxious vapours/energy from underground waterbearing fissures were responsible for many of the cases of cancer.
In the 1950s the idea was again explored by the German scientist Dr. Joseph
Wrst, and the German engineer and dowser Jakob Stngle. Dr Wrst conducted
experiments in the rooms of cancer patients in several German towns, and found
unusual amounts of gamma radiation in the houses he surveyed using a Geiger
counter. Stngle, who had a very good reputation for locating water bearing
fissures in crystalline rock with his dowsing rod, developed a scintillisation counter
more sensitive and accurate than a Geiger counter and carried out a scientific
survey in the French town of Moulins where a local physician, Dr, J Prichard
claimed that cancer victims in the town dwelt above geological faults. Whilst Wrst
and Stngle thought that gamma radiation from fissures could be a significant
cause of cancer, more recent studies suggest that this is unlikely as gamma
radiation tends to pass straight through the body rather than causing direct hits on
DNA. The culprit is thought to be the more pernicious alpha radiation from Radon,
which is found with high levels of gamma radiation. Research in this field continues
with an increasing number of sophisticated environmental measuring instruments
coming on the market to aid the geobiologist in identifying causative factors to
illness and disease.
Dr. Hartmann M.D. researched the effects of earth rays on humans for over thirty
years, and his experiences led him to produce a six hundred page report
[Krankheit als Standort-problem, Heidelburg: K.F.Haug-Verlag] stating that
disease was a problem of location. He found that one of the first things to be
adversely effected was the immune system, and as a result of this, individuals
placed above an area of geopathic disturbance soon lost the ability to defend
themselves against harmful bacteria that previously they were able to withstand.
There was also a clear link with cancer in people that slept or worked above a
Hartmann crossing point for lengthy periods of time. Dr. Hartmann stated that in
30 yeas of practice, he has not come across a patient with cancer or otherwise
seriously ill with the exception of disease caused by bacteria or virus infections
who has not slept or stayed for long periods in geopathically stressed places.
Dr. Otto Bergsmann
In 1989 Dr Hartmann's theory was tested by a group of researches in Austria who
completed a two-year study on the short-term consequences of human association
with pathogenic sites. Some 985 people were tested and many measurements were
recorded from 6,943 individual tests. Dr. Otto Bergsmann, internal medicine
professor at the University of Vienna headed the working party. This study
produced a 158 page report giving details of changes in the serum values of
Serotonin, Zinc and Calcium after being exposed to these noxious fields for a period
of ten minuets. There were also many other altered states to biological functions
noted as a result of short term exposure to these forces.
The research was conducted by a team of distinguished professors, doctors,
engineers, scientists and dowsers. To test this hypothesis the research team used
the services of three dowsers known for their expertise in locating earth energies.
They were enlisted to independently dowse eight different locations and submit
reports and diagrams of the strongest Disturbed Zones (Geopathic Zones) found,
together with a Neutral Zone at the same location to enable them to carryout
double blind experiments with volunteers at each selected location. The dowsers
found that the greatest pathogenic influences came from the movement of
underground streams, Hartmann/ Curry global grid lines and geological fault lines.
In order to rule out possible influences of man made electromagnetic or microwave
spending time above a Disturbed Zone belongs to other similar risk factors such as
Environmental Chemicals, Poisons & Pollutants, Malnutrition/Diet, Recreational
Drugs, Alcohol, Psycho-social Stresses, Genetic Weaknesses, Electromagnetic
Pollution. The term Location Load is synonymous to Geopathic Stress which more
generally describes the phenomenon in both Great Britain and the United States.
This group has now linked with two universities in Austria studying the effects of
disturbed zones on the immune system. Indications thus far support the findings of
Dr. Ernst Hartmann who claimed that the protective role of the immune system
was undermined when immersed in emissions of detrimental earth radiation.
Dr. Veronika Carstens
In 1985 Dr. Veronika Carstens, wife of former German Federal President Karl
Carstens, published a study stating that there were 700 cases documented
worldwide where terminal cancer patients had regained their health without any
conventional treatment after their sleeping area had been moved from a geopathic
stress zone to one in which there was no detectable geopathic stress.

A doctoral thesis written by Barbara Tombarkiewicz under the supervision of Prof.
Tomasz M Janowski concerning zones of geomagnetic field disturbances (magnetic
anomalies) in Poland and the health of 309 cows kept in cow stalls in a
building measuring 91 x 24 meters in area. Cows kept in three of these stalls
suffered ill health problems over and above a ratio that might be normally
expected. The problem was initially resolved by moving these unhealthy cows to
other cow stalls in the complex where they recovered. However the healthy cows
that were placed in these three cow stalls soon succumbed to ill health problems. It
was decided to take measurements of the Earth's geomagnetic fields in these cow
stalls to see if the three pathogenic sites were caused by anomalies in the local
geomagnetic field strength. The three cow stalls that were connect to ill health
problems had magnetic anomalies exceeded 34.000nT (nano Tesla).
Hair and Blood Analysis showed that animals that stayed in the geopathogenic
stalls showed lower counts of trace elements such as Aluminium, Zinc, Copper and
low Iron counts.
One of the many factors behind incorrect iron balance is Cadmium. It accumulates
in the body and combines permanently with tissues, and inhibits activity of some
enzymes. It is teratogenic, carcinogenic, and is amongst the most toxic of metals.
The report concluded that the microelement disorders in the animals staying in the
geopathic stalls was the primary cause of the many diseases and even death of the
organism. Blood tests especially leukocyte count and the amount of toxic metal
found in hair analysis were also indications that the animals were suffering from
the detrimental affects of long term exposure to these geopathogenic sites.
A disturbed geomagnetic field alters, among other things, the evolution-shaped
permeability of cell membranes and the magnetic orientation of microelements.
This can affect the whole plant or animal organism and thus the physiological
status of the organism, the central nervous
6. CONCLUSION
How many lives and marriages could have been saved, how much suffering could
have been avoided if the understanding of the importance of the influence of
geopathic stress upon life on Earth was more widely recognised?
